I have been using Vista Home Premium for quite some time with no real
problems. However, in the last week when I try to run any other browser
besides IE I get the message page not found or I should check my
internet connection. IE works fine however, Firefox and Chrome used to
work fine and now do not. I am also running Windows XP in a Virtual Box
and even IE does not run here. I have disabled the firewall but it still
does not work. I don't know if this was the result of an upgrade. I have
not installed any new programs prior to this problem. I have basically
tried everything, but the problem must be in the registry. Can someone
help.

Thanks in advance

Try resetting your Winsock settings and TCP/IP stack in case it is
corrupted:

Run an elevated command prompt, by right clicking and run as admin. Type:

netsh winsock reset

If it does still does not work try:

netsh int ip reset

ss.
